★★ · BY GUM THEY HAVE THE SAME WATER AS US · Spuzz · 2013-09-09

Silly comparison of New England (the states) compared to Old England (the country). The filmmakers apparently don't move beyond one mill and decide this is the ultimate comparison. Facts found, New England is more modern in terms of technology (the "factory") but apparently have the same trees and water. Yes, really. Not as enjoyable as it sounds, even though the premise is absolutely stupidly played out.
